The Peasant's Dream









The Peasant's Dream is the latest tale from Melanie Dickerson.  You will meet Adela on the opening pages of this book.  She is the youngest daughter of  Duke Wilhelm of Hagenheim.  Adela has lived in the lap of luxury her entire life; however, in an effort to discover what direction she wants her life to go, she decides to sneak out of the castle to see how the ordinary people live!

On her first trip to this new world, Adela meets Frederick, a young peasant, who is also trying to find his place in the world.  Frederick has been working as a farmer on his family's land, but he wants to see if his skill at carving can be used to make a living.  The connection between these two young people is instant, because Adela is also an artist.  God has given Adela the talent of creating beautiful paintings.  Adela wants to keep her identity a secret in an effort to protect herself.  Hold on to see how this decision will bring on a lot of trouble!

Before you know it, Frederick will find trouble of his own.  He is accused of being involved in an attempt to kidnap Adela.  When he ends up in prison, Frederick has no idea how he will ever be set free.  You will be surprised to see a long held secret come to life and bring this tale to a surprising conclusion!

I received this e-book from Thomas Nelson through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
